"Militants associated with Islamist group al-Qaeda hijacked..." is relatively straightforward phrase (although "hijacked" is missing a direct object).

"Militants" are violent individuals usually connected with a militia or army.

"associated with" means that the Militants are either under the guidance of or working along side the Islamist group.

"Islamist group" means an organization that believes in forming government based on Islamic principles.

"al-Qaeda" is the name of one particularly violent, persistant, and worldwide Islamist group.

"hijacked" is a past-tense verb denoting the shifting of control of one instrument of travel or directionality to another (undesirable) way.

Who committed the attack on 911?

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush.
